  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Function enhancement for SQL CONNECT                         *

  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The SQL CONNECT statement can be used to connect an application
  process to a database server. Currently when using the CONNECT
  statement with the USER/USING arguments, the password provided
  can only be 8 characters long, which does not allow for all for
  compliant password phrase (9 to 100 characters).
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

• This APAR enhances the CONNECT statement to allow for
  compliant password phrase up to 100 chars for connecting to
  a Db2 for z/OS subsystem.
